I think the problem you have highlighted there is that we don't have players that want the ball and/or don't know how to run to space to get it. Bennell knows how to do that, Yarran knows how to do that, Walters knows how to do that. Mayne is a headless chook and Ballas can't get the ball and even if he does he turns it over or slips over.What's actually wrong ?
The game plan.
Playing with a five man forward line, when one of them is Mayne whose main focus is to chase people around and an old veteran who continues to be double tagged, is totally insane. The remaining three can hardly be described as guns, to make the strategy even worse.
When we add McCarthy and Bennell to Shane Yarran and not have Mayne, if we persist with the five man structure, It will be precisely the same outcome.
It is truly mind boggling.
We have too many players that don't provide options and when they do they provide the wrong ones.
